Oh, they have free drops too? I guess dual wielding the two $20 subs is the best value option right now then.

Anthropic has been like this for a while, although in their latest announcement, the $20 tier won't have the "cheap" access to Fable, and neither will the $100 tier.

Huh, isn’t Fable going to be available indefinitely to all Max users?

Available, yes, but how it's being charged for is expected to change.
